Ok yes he is a complete goon obviously.

I'm just saying that if I were china, I'd be making top notch propaganda films, selectively leaking embarrassing stuff, etc.

The us is getting completely outmaneuvered by Iran, the latest thing they've said is that ships going to countries that don't buy US treasuries will be permitted through. That's a brilliant move, the willingness of hedge fund owners and other countries to buy treasuries is the only thing keeping the lights on in Washington.

The people making decisions in Iran live in the real world, the people making decisions in the US are insane.
